Curated for industry executives, investors, and robotics engineers.
This week in robotics: Figure scales to one humanoid per hour, Meta acquires Assured Robot Intelligence, China's State Grid commits $995M for 8,500 AI robots, and SoftBank plans $100B IPO for robotics spinout Roze. April 28–May 2, 2026.
Anduril’s YFQ-44A Fury flew its first semi-autonomous mission on 31 October 2025 — 556 days from contract to flight. By February 2026 it was carrying live missiles and swapping autonomy software mid-flight. China’s Jiutian drone mothership flew on 11 December 2025, capable of releasing over 100 loitering munitions from its internal bay at 15,000 metres. And the U.S. Air Force is standing up its second experimental one-way attack drone unit for mid-2026. This article maps the most consequential aerial autonomous systems competition in history: the CCA programme that will determine U.S. air dominance in the 2030s, the Valkyrie’s surprising rebirth, the A-GRA open-architecture breakthrough, and the Chinese drone mothership that has no Western equivalent.
RobotToday's weekly industry briefing for March 21–28, 2026 covers Physical Intelligence's $1B raise, Amazon's Fauna Robotics acquisition, Agile Robots' DeepMind partnership, the launch of Europe's first robotaxi service, DJI's Avata 360 drone, Skydio's $52M Army order, and the latest in humanoid, AMR, and drone technology.
The global counter-drone (C-UAS) sector is scaling fast. New EU and US factories, an ․87M US Army contract, and the 2026 FIFA World Cup deployment mark a turning point for autonomous anti-drone technology. Read RobotToday’s March 2026 briefing.
Gecko Robotics secures a $71M U.S. Navy IDIQ contract deploying AI inspection robots and the Cantilever digital twin platform across the Pacific Fleet to hit 80% readiness by 2027.
How modern weapons shattered the concept of human control — from kill-switch confirmation to AI systems that select targets independently.
The machine can already see what human inspectors miss. But inside manufacturing, the real fight isn't about technology — it's about who gets to decide. The union battle over Manufacturing Intelligence begins here.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority has published its electric vertical take-off and landing Delivery Model, establishing a regulatory framework that will enable commercial electric aircraft operations in UK airspace by 2028.
